"NO! NO! NOOOO! IT HAS TO BE HERE!" and he starts to search even more frantically. He seems to be on course to blow a gasket soon.

Foolish old man. Lucien lets the man walk away and talks quietly to the party. "I say we leave him. This isn't our problem."

"But don't lose heart! You keep looking here, while we look for your book outside. If we find it, we will return to free you."

"Yes, GO! GO! GO! GET OUT! I'LL FIND IT! I HAVE TO!" and he gets even more frantic.

Tamm looks at Lucian when he recounts his story about the conjurer's trick
"That's just mean...." he says.

To everyone.

"Maybe we can find a way to break his compulsion and rescue him somewhere else in this place. At least he isn't chasing the stalkers around like a madman anymore."

He opens the double doors and steps out in the hall to check the pair of double-doors opposite them.

perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27

Doors don't appear to be trapped.

Raphael say goodbye to the prisoner.
"Have faith! We will come back for you! You will be free!"
He follows Sazzat.

Laurel watches the man for a bit to see if there appears to be any spells on him that might compel him, or if he is just desperate.

He appears to be desperate.

Tamm waits for the others to finish with the wizard before he opens the doors across the hall.

"He's good for now. Just desperate I think. Shall we move on or do we need to heal first?"

Whoever needs healing, fell free to use Raphael's Wand. Just roll 1d8+5 as much times as you need to be back to full HP.

Laurel pulls a wand out of his quiver and taps himself with it and over time his wounds heal some.

Using wand of infernal healing.

Whoever needs healing, fell free to use Raphael's Wand. Just roll 1d8+5 as much times as you need to be back to full HP.

If you paid 750 for that wand, it is only 1d8+1. If you want the benefit of 5th level casting, the wand would cost 3750 GP.

Right again! In that case he has only healed 17 of 29 HP, and uses more charges...
Heals: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Heals: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Everybody else still invited to use the wand as needed.

"If we're all healed up, do we want Raphael's eidolon to do the honors on these double doors?" Tamm asks his companions.

When everybody is ready, and after Raphael nods, Mu'aqquibat The Protector opens the doors.

Everyone should probably make sure they are positioned where they want to be before the door is opened.

Ready!

On a side note, if you are next to Mu'aqquibat The Protector, as per Greater Shield Ally, you gain a +2 shield bonus to your Armor Class and a +2 circumstance bonus on your saving throws.

Laurel stands next to Mu'aqquibat, waiting for him to open the door.

Her

ready

The eidolon opens the door to reveal a stone wall barring progress.

I need will saves from Laurel, the eidolon, Sazzat, and Darryl. DC 20.

If you fail, you believe you are covered in webs.

Inititative time.

baddie init: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Ilia init: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

If someone has some ability to act in the surprise round, you may do so. Mind you, you don't have a lot to go on.

will save: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 = 23

initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 (+4 vs. enchantment)
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Raphael has Sandals of Quick Reaction: When he can act in a Surprise Round he can take an standard and a move action in the surprise action. Did he got the change to act?
Can we see the other side of the wall?
Any scents?

Unless you have a specific ability which says that even when surprised you get to act, you are not acting.

You cannot see the other side of the wall (in particular you cannot even see the wall since you have no line of sight into the room). The eidolon does smell something on the other side.

Which she wouldn't if it was a real stone wall, right? Did she gets a saving throw to disbelieve?

There is nothing stopping you from smelling something on the other side of a wall if it is not airtight. You get a save if you interact with it.

So the wall doesn't look airtight?

Look, scent is not sonar or radar. You cannot see the whole of wall from where you are for that matter. If you wish to interact with the wall on your turn feel free.

Scent tells you there is something in the room. It does not locate it until you are adjacent. That is all.

Got it...

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Laurel gasps. "What in the world?!?! Webs! Where did they come from?"

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 +2 vs. Enchantment, though I'm guessing it's illusion.
Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Laurel gains a +2 to Saving Throws thanks to Mu'aqquibat The Protector's Greater shield ally, so he should make the save.

will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

LOL, fail both, unless its an enchantment?

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

[b]"I guess someone's been waiting for us ..."[

Since there's a big angel between him and the wall, Tamm will pop out his shield wand (quick action), cast shield, and put the wand in a pocket.

UMD: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

"What? They're gone! An illusion?". Laurel looks confused waiting to see what come through the door.

Same to Darryl... With the eidolon's +2 to saving throws he should make the save...

Init order:
PCs
Baddies

You see a wall, and you know something in the room tossed a spell at you.

Mu'aqquibat The Protector peeks into the "room".
"I only see a passage, and while I smell somebody, I can't pinpoint it nor I can squeeze in there."
As a move action she tries to use her scent ability to locate the source of the smell and point it to the others.
After that she retreats into the passage.
I guess she will tell them the smell comes from the other side of the wall...

Lucian backs out so that any area spells or attack won't hit him.

see action above

Thinking the stone wall is only an illusion, Raphael activates his invisibility ring and moves into the room and tries to cross the wall, as if it is not there, following his scent ability to try and pinpoint the smell origin.
"The eyes can deceive, but the heart always holds true." - he thinks.
Will Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
He is invisible.

Everyone sees Raphael walk through the wall.

As he is invisible the others couldn't see him cross the wall.
Telepathically, without making noise, Raphael lets Mu'aqquibat The Protector know what happened and what he sees.

"The wall is an illusion, and on the other side a hell spawned fiend hides."

Lucian follows them through, also invisible.
